Ladder Mount Assembly:

Determine how far from the ladder or mounting pole you will need the Carryout antenna. Use the
Figure below to determine which of the mounting holes will best meet your application.

Step 2. From the flat or outside of the left mounting bracket, insert a carriage bolt into each of the two
holes you lined up in Step 1.

Step 3. Place the right mounting bracket on the extension tube so that the bolts you inserted in Step
2 extend through the holes in the right mounting bracket. Place a flat washer and thread one of the
nylock nuts onto each of these bolts, but DO NOT TIGHTEN AT THIS TIME!

Step 4. Install the mounting plate by lining up the two holes shown in Fig. 3 with the two holes on the
top of the extension tube. With the holes lined up, insert a carriage bolt into each of the holes so that
the head of the bolt is on top of the mounting plate.

Step 5. Place a flat washer and thread one of the nylock nut onto each of the two bolts holding the
mounting plate to the extension tube. Tighten these nuts, making sure they are snug.

Installing the Ladder Mount:

Step 1. Spread the left and right mounting

brackets apart to allow the ladder mount
to slide onto the rail of the ladder or
mounting pole.

that the pole you are mounting to can
support 20lbs while traveling.

Step 2. Insert two carriage bolts into the top two holes shown in
Fig 4. Place a flat washer and thread a nylock nut onto each bolt.
Move the ladder mount to the desired height. When the ladder
mount is in place, tighten the two nuts until they are snug.

Operating your Carryout Antenna 12VDC

1. Turn on receiver and television set. The Carryout
antenna must be connected to a receiver that is
plugged into 120 VAC.
2. Verify that you are getting any of the receiver’s
menu screens on the television. These screens are
available with or without the dish finding the signal.
3. Turn on the power for the Carryout antenna. The
dish will detect if it is already on a satellite signal. If it
detects a signal, the dish will move to check it’s alternate
satellite and then move back to the original satellite
signal that is on.
4. If no signal was detected, the dish will begin its search
to locate the primary satellite. Once the dish locates a
signal, it will pause long enough to identify which satellite
it has located. This may or may not be visible on your
receiver’s point dish screen.
5. After the unit has verified that it has the correct satel-
lite, it will move to check the alternate satellite and move
back to the primary satellite to complete the search
routine.

6. Once the unit stops moving for more than one min-
ute, it should be locked on the signal. Your receiver
may need a moment or two to download new program-
ming before veiwing is possible.
7. If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting,
p.8 of your Carryout antenna manual.
NOTE: Because the Carryout antenna uses infor-
mation from the last location that it was on a signal,
satellite acquisition may take longer if the dish is
inactive over long distance traveling.
DIRECTV must be set to the “two” satellite, oval
dish setting. In some cases, the two satellite op-
tion may not be available, when this happens, use
the three satellite option. Refer to your receiver
manual for more information.
DISH Network receivers must have the check
switch set to “SW64”.

ing plate for the locking bolt before attaching the

Warnings:

- The Ladder Mount with the Carryout installed weighs 20 lbs. Verify that your mounting pole can
support this weight while you travel.

- The Carryout antenna needs a clear view of the Southern Sky. The Vehicle will either need to park
with the Ladder Mount facing South or the Ladder Mount will need to be installed high enough to
allow the Carryout to see over the vehicle.

- The Carryout antenna is for stationary use only and will not function while the vehicle is in motion.

- All nylock nuts for the Ladder mount MUST be tight to prevent them from vibrating loose while the
vehicle is in motion.

- The locking bolt MUST be in place and tight while the Carryout antenna is installed on the Ladder
mount.
